Great stuff. Several in there I gotta see. I always forget he did INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. What a classic that is! And THE BLACK WINDMILL sounds/looks very promising. Oh, and I should own COOGAN'S BLUFF.

Yes INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS does get overlooked in his filmography; it must have something to do with the fact that it's Siegel's only science-fiction movie and thus very atypical. I have a copy of THE BLACK WINDMILL, its not bad, and Michael Caine is pretty good in it. But by Siegel's standards it must be considered a lesser film. It does have some very good location shooting in London and France to give it some appeal. I'm surprised you don't own COOGAN'S BLUFF Greg! That's a travesty that must be addressed!
